Setting up the printer after transporting it

The steps you need to take to set up the printer after transporting it are almost identical to the steps carried out the first time you set up the printer. When you set up the printer again, see the Assembly and Setup Instructions, and note the following points:

Do not forget to remove any protective material (such as tape from the ink cartridge clamps).

The first time you start printing after transporting the printer, the print head nozzles may be clogged. EPSON recommends you perform a nozzle check and clean the print heads, and also realign the print heads to ensure print quality. See Using the Printer Utilities for Windows, or Using the Printer Utilities for Macintosh.
